Iron Tower have released Dungeon Rats, their party-based dungeon crawler set in the world of The Age of Decadence. You've read the FAQ, you've seen the trailer, so there's nothing left to do but quote the game's store page description:

Dungeon Rats is a turn-based, party-based RPG set in the Age of Decadence world and focused on squad level tactical combat. If fighting your way out of a prison mine - and frequently dying in the attempt - is your idea of a good time, you've come to the right place.

Starting out as a new prisoner at the bottom of the gangs-ruled prison hierarchy, and of the prison itself, you must fight to survive and develop your combat skills, acquiring better weapons and equipment as you go. Recruit allies to your struggle or carry on as a lone wolf, and kill anyone foolish enough to stand in your way.

Features include:

  • Tactical combat system, including standard attacks, aimed attacks targeting specific body parts, and per-weapon special attacks such as Whirlwind and Impale.
  • Detailed crafting and alchemy systems: forge your own weapons, brew potions and poisons, experiment with Liquid Fire and Black Powder.
  • 8 weapon types: Daggers, Swords, Axes, Hammers, Spears, Bows, Crossbows, and Throwing Weapons, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
  • Fully customizable main character, as well as 10 possible companions, not all of them human (maximum party size is 4).
  • 50 challenging fights and 4 different endings
Notable changes from The Age of Decadence:
  • Party-based - the most frequently requested feature.
  • Flanking and other strategic bonuses. Positioning matters a lot.
  • Manual placement of your characters before a fight.
  • Charisma determines the number and quality of your party members.
  • Skill points are split between the party members: more people means fewer skills points per person and slower level ups.
  • New weapons, armor, and creatures.
  • 3 difficulty levels: Nice Guy, Tough Bastard, Murderous Psychopath
Dungeon Rats is available for the low price of $9 on Steam and GOG, with a 10% launch discount until next week. Buy it now and give it a good review.

Done with couple fights from the start.
Looking good.

Though what it is with character creation UI having elements for portrait choosing with only one possible face per gender?

Start playing. Both Steam and GOG builds were uploaded last night (i.e. it's not a two day old build).

So far it's really great. Everything I loved in AoD's combat system, minus everything I disliked about it (sorry about that, devs). I hope everyone will take the game for what it is, some kind of hardcore tactical game, and that no idiots will give it negative reviews due to the lack of dialogs for example.
Also, I was expecting something very linear (and it wouldn't have been wrong) and yet it looks like there are a lot of paths and opportunities to branch from the main storyline when the player wants to fight some more. Really excited to finish this, so thank you Iron Tower!

Vince, congrats on the release! I got the game too but unsure when I will have a moment to play. The combat in AoD was rather unforgiving and made me come to conclusion that I am not as hardcore a player I liked to think :) But anyway, glad to see another game from you and tons of luck and sales!

I'm really enjoying it too, but the UI is a bit rough. I wish when you lacked a required crafting material to fix something, you could get the name of the material somehow. Instead we just get an image.

any way to rebind moving onto the left mouse button, doing it with the right is irritating

Uh-oh. Can somebody tell me how do I open my Journal? Or I need to remember what the quest givers tell me? I killed the first boss easily but now I struggling with the horde that attacks you afterwards.
